Mogadore Local

Mogadore Local is a small Ohio district with just three schools — one elementary, one junior high, and one high school — serving about 649 students in grades K–12, and it ranks 225th of 773 Ohio districts (71st percentile, 4 stars). O H Somers Elementary School (K–6) is the largest with 336 students, ahead of Mogadore High School (9–12) with 201 students and Mogadore Junior High School (7–8) with 112 students.

The elementary and junior high are the district's strengths. O H Somers ranked 332nd of 1,560 schools in 2025–26 (79th percentile, 4 stars), and every listed test was above the state average — 5th grade math at 84.0% versus 59.1% statewide, 6th grade ELA at 78.0% versus 56.0%, and the smallest gap, 5th grade ELA, still above state at 75.0% versus 70.4%. Its chronic absenteeism, 11.6%, is the lowest in the district, well under the district's 16.6%. Mogadore Junior High holds the highest rank percentile of the three, 80th (213th of 1,046, 4 stars), and has climbed steadily from 67th percentile in 2023–24 and 72nd in 2024–25. All five of its listed 2025–26 tests beat state averages, led by 8th grade math at 73.9% versus 52.0% and 8th grade ELA at 80.0% versus 58.3%. Its absenteeism, 18.8%, runs above the district rate.

Mogadore High School is more mixed: 51st percentile (392nd of 795, 3 stars), with the district's highest chronic absenteeism at 23.8%. Math is the clear weak spot — Algebra I at 51.0% versus 61.6% state and Geometry at 40.4% versus 43.3% — while American Government (86.3%), American History (84.2%), and Biology (75.0%) all exceed state averages and English II (62.5%) is essentially at state. The graduation rate is a strength at 95.7%, close to the district's 95.8%. Because the high school and junior high enroll only about 201 and 112 students, year-to-year swings — such as English II falling from 86.0% to 62.5% — can be large, so multi-year trends are more meaningful than any single year.
